Today
marks the 50th anniversary of learning of Paul Jung's death at New York's Forrest
Hotel at 224 W. 49th St, just around the corner from Madison Square
Garden.

Jung, the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus'
chief Producing Clown for 22 years, was murdered by two heroin addicts
for $40. and his typewriter.

They were arrested pawning the typewriter.

But, as if the Comic Universe was attempting to right this terrible wrong, one month from today is Red Nose USA Day! Red Nose Day is a campaign dedicated to raising money for children and
young people living in poverty by simply having fun and making people
laugh. A 30 year institution in the UK, the inaugural Red Nose Day will be held in the US today. People across the country will come together to have fun and raise
funds and awareness. The day's events will culminate in a three-hour
entertainment TV special on NBC featuring the country's favorite
comedians, musicians and Hollywood stars.

So get ready to make someone laugh, watch the show May 21st and BE SURE TO MENTION that you are donating in honor of Paul Jung's memory!
